random act

it was a random act
one detached
from thought
one that
should standout
one that
many would shy from
criticize
declare insane
close eyes
or just plainly walk away


it was a random act
nothing attached
nothing asked for in return
a giving
not taking
not asking to be recognized
or verified
just executed from the heart

 

it was a random act
inconsequential to most
that made the news
many questioned
who
but no one knew
while the homeless one
chewed on soup & bread
and no longer had to succumb
to the cold
nodding his head
just acknowledging an angel

 

it was a random act

 

on a day
that started like any other
